What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and neck. This procedure can help contour and reshape these areas, resulting in a more proportionate and toned appearance.

Liposuction is ideal for individuals who have stubborn fat pockets that do not respond to diet and exercise. Recovery typically involves a few weeks of limited activity and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.

Liposuction is an extremely safe procedure and done through small ‘keyhole’ incisions. There are sometimes no suture placed or a single dissolvable suture where required. The entry ports for the cannulas which are used to remove the fat are cosmetically hidden so not seen.

POWER ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION : In this technique special power machines are used for liposuction to improve its efficacy and result.

Laser-assisted liposuction : uses a laser to produce a burst of energy to liquefy the fat.

Who is the Right Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction carried out alone is usually more effective in patients who had a reasonably good skin tone and not a lot of skin excess although liposuction can help to tighten loose skin.

Preparation

Liposuction alone is generally done under intravenous sedation or local anaesthesia alone but if combined with other facial procedures such as facelifting or blepharoplasty it will be done under general anaesthesia.
